N919AV

The airframe bearing tail number N919AV is an Airbus A320-251N manufactured by Airbus and completed in 2023 with manufacturer serial number 11584. The aircraft is owned by CDB Aviation, a corporation based in Ireland, and carries a United States registration. The airframe entered service new to the lessor-owner and is notable for its current configuration and modern engine fit; ownership is recorded with an Irish corporate lessor while the registration is maintained in the U.S. Condition and valuation highlights are consistent with a new-build narrowbody with LEAP engines and standard A320neo family equipment but specific appraisals are not published here.

The cabin is configured as C12Y168 (12 business class and 168 economy class seats, 180 total), matching a single-aisle medium-density layout commonly used for short- to medium-haul scheduled and wet-lease operations. The flight deck is the Airbus A320 family standard fit, featuring a glass cockpit and full fly-by-wire flight control system, supporting modern avionics interoperability and airline commonality. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include transcontinental U.S. sectors and medium-range international routes within the aircraft's 3,400 nm capability, operated from bases where the lessor places assets with partner airlines. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on the LEAP-1A26 engine type and standard A320neo-series line maintenance cycles under lessor oversight.

The Airbus A320-251N occupies the single-aisle medium-range market niche for high-frequency short- to medium-haul operations with improved fuel efficiency relative to previous A320ceo variants. Competing models include narrowbody derivatives such as the Boeing 737 MAX family, with buyer and lease demand driven by seat count, range, and operating economics—attributes evidenced by this airframe’s 180-seat layout and LEAP engines. Resale and maintenance considerations emphasize engine shop visit scheduling and airframe marketability tied to the A320neo family’s broad operator base and avionics commonality.
